This workshop is the prerequisite for all other FSS workshops and training courses.

Course Description: During this experiential workshop, participants are introduced to core shamanism, the universal and near-universal basic methods of the shaman to enter non-ordinary reality for problem solving and healing. Particular emphasis is on the classic shamanic journey, one of the most remarkable visionary methods used by humankind to explore the hidden universe otherwise known mainly through myth and dream. Participants are initiated into shamanic journeying aided by drumming and other techniques for experiencing the shamanic state of consciousness and for awakening dormant spiritual abilities, including connections with Nature.

Practice includes comparisons by participants of their discoveries in shamanic journeys as well as being introduced to shamanic divination and healing. They are provided with methods for journeying to meet and study with their own individual spirit helpers and teachers in nonordinary reality, a classic step in shamanic practice. Participants learn how the journey is utilized to restore spiritual power and health, and how shamanism can be applied in contemporary daily life to help heal oneself, others, and the Planet.

What to Bring: Please bring a rattle and/or a drum, a bandanna, a rough surfaced rock approximately the size of a grapefruit (not a quartz crystal), a cushion and/or blanket, and a pen and notebook to record your journeys. Wear comfortable layered clothing and warm socks as you will be working with your shoes off. Chairs are available for those who do not want to sit on the floor
